Why is there a lack of knitting in the stories?
Good afternoon. I’m Betty. You probably know me as the leader of the Gray-Haired Knitting Detectives. Someone has to wrangle this group into control, and I’m the perfect woman for the job. Now, I’ve heard some of you complain about the amount of knitting we do during our detective adventures. Why are we called the knitting detectives if we’re not knitting?
We are the knitting detectives because that’s how Rosemary, Martha, Rose, Ally, the departed Anna, and I all met. For years, we’ve been gathering at each other’s houses each Sunday for a few hours of knitting and catching up. Izzy – Anna’s granddaughter – will tell you we’re gossiping and not catching up. As if a little gossip ever hurt anyone.
When Anna died, we knew it wasn’t an accident. It took some persuading, but we finally managed to convince Izzy to help us find the culprit. Since then, it’s been all hands on decks with our investigations. I never knew there were so many suspicious deaths in our little town.
If I have to a choice between finding a killer or knitting, I’m going to chose finding a killer every time. I can knit when I’m too old to chase killers.
And now you know. This is why we’re the knitting detectives who don’t have much time to knit.
About Where There's Smoke, There's Arson
Bernadette didn’t smoke. The fire couldn’t have been an accident!
Oh boy, the gray-haired knitters are at it again. Of course, they are. It’s been way too long since they ‘solved’ a mystery. But the investigator determined the fire at the craft store was caused by an unattended lit cigarette. Arson isn’t even a remote possibility. Except the owner Bernadette didn’t smoke and now she’s dead.
When Bernadette’s granddaughter asks me to look into the matter, the knitters practically cheer. They are on the case!
But is there even a case? Or are we seeing murder and arson where there’s merely smoke?
About Hold the Coffee
(The Gray-Haired Knitting Detectives)Oopsie. The Gray-Haired Knitting Detectives accused the wrong person of murder.
Poor Milly is furious after being hauled into the police station to be interrogated. She is not letting those knitters get away with pointing their fingers at her! Absolutely not. Instead, she insists they solve the murder and clear her name.
Naturally, the knitters jump at the chance to solve another mystery. They don’t care if the victim was hated by one and all. They’ll find the murderer!
Can the Gray-Haired Knitting Detectives wade through the suspects to find the actual killer?
About D.E. Haggerty
D.E. Haggerty is actually just plain old Dena, but she thinks using initials makes her sound sophisticated and maybe even grown up. She was born and raised in the U.S. but considers herself a Dutchie and not only because it sounds way cooler. After a stint in the U.S. Army, she escaped the US to join her husband in Holland. She fled Holland over ten years ago when she couldn’t stand the idea of being a lawyer for one single second more. Turns out Bed & Breakfast owner in Germany didn’t do it for her either. When the hubby got a job in Istanbul, she jumped ship and decided to give this whole writer thing a go. She’s now back in Holland, which she considers home.
